The flavors, warmth and soul of Cajun food are back to bring a taste of New Orleans to Greater Lafayette.

J. Gumbo's, a fast and casual Cajun/Creole chain, opened last week with a location in the Lafayette Pavilions Shopping Center, 210 S. Creasy Lane, Suite 2120. And Chelsea and Jimmy Beasley, who own the location, said they're ready to reintroduce the town, which once had Cajun options such as Yats and Cajun Connection, to food with soul.
